UNSPSC 50221103: Millet grain

A cereal grain.

UNSPSC 50221103 Millet grain is a Commodity code that captures grain and legume procurement by state and local education agencies, though recent activity shows the code encompasses a broader range of food commodities than the nominal scope suggests. State and local governments buy food supplies under this code primarily through school nutrition programs serving K–12 districts, with solicitations covering sealed-bid and RFP processes for annual food supply contracts. The issuing bodies are school districts and school systems operating nutrition programs, occasionally leveraging cooperative purchasing vehicles to aggregate demand across multiple districts and improve pricing leverage. Recent solicitations show requests for diverse food products including fresh produce, eggs, and general food supplies rather than millet grain specifically, indicating the code captures school nutrition procurement more broadly than its nominal commodity name.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, where the Butts County School System issued an IFB (PE55683NONST2027000000020) on April 27, 2026, for food supplies to support its School Nutrition Program during School Year 2026–2027, with bid submission due May 26, 2026, and anticipated award on June 10, 2026. The Douglas County School System issued RFP SN 26-004 through the GEC Buying Cooperative on February 4, 2026, for fresh produce and eggs serving 30 school districts across two geographic areas in Georgia, with estimated annual spending of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two, proposals due March 4, 2026, and board approval scheduled for April 13, 2026. Both solicitations require compliance with federal regulations including Buy American provisions and HACCP standards, and neither includes set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. School nutrition contracts typically run July 1 through June 30 with renewal options available, creating recurring annual procurement cycles aligned to the academic calendar.
